The Top Writing Links From Last Week Are On LitLinks: Share on X
Hi Elizabeth – there's always so much information there … good advice too. It's a minefield, but these will filter out some of the challenges for readers. Cheers Hilary
Thanks, Hilary! Have a happy week.
Thanks, as always, for these links, Elizabeth! I found the one about marketing quotes to be especially helpful. For whatever reason, I'm a lot better at writing stories than I am about writing blurbs, quotes for my books, and so on. Not sure why that is, but I think it's good to have a few of those 'sound bites' ready. Writing is so much more than just…writing!
Copywriting is a whole different ball of wax, isn’t it?
